- Update to 4.0.2:
+ Highlights:
- Fixed 4.0.1 bug where some torrents thought they were
magnet links.
- Fixed 4.0.0 bug where download speed limits were ignored for
uTP peers.
- Fixed 4.0.0 bug using announce-list when creating
single-tracker private torrents.
+ All platforms:
- Restored support for path.utf-8 keys in torrent info dictionaries.
- Fixed value of TR_TIME_LOCALTIME environment variable in
torrent scripts.
- Limited in-kernel file copying to 2 GiB blocks at a time to avoid
potential issues with CIFS mounts.
- Simplified filename info in log messages.
- Fixed std::clamp() assertion failures.
- Fixed small error calculating protocol overhead when receiving
peer messages.
- Fixed incorrect escaping of non-BMP characters when
generating JSON.
- Fixed 4.0.0 crash when receiving malformed piece data from peers.
- Fixed 4.0.0 potential crash when downloading from webseeds.
- Improved handling of the leechers param in trackers'
announce responses.
- Fixed 4.0.0 regression that stopped increasing the download
priority of files' first and last pieces. These pieces are
important for making incomplete files previewable / playable
while still being downloaded.
- Fixed display of IPv6 tracker URLs.
- Fixed code that could stop being interested in peers that
have pieces we want to download.
- Improved sanity checking of magnet links added via RPC.
- Fixed a misleading error message when Transmission is unable to
write to the incomplete-dir.
- Worked around an older libdht bug that could provide
invalid peer info.
- Restored RPC torrentGet.wanted return value
to match 3.00 behavior.
+ QT client:
- Ensured that "Open File" opens the torrent's folder for
multi-file torrents.
- Fixed 4.0.0 bug that prevented batch-adding trackers to
multiple torrents at once.
- Fixed per-torrent ratio display in main window.
+ GTK client:
- Fixed 4.0.0 ignoring -m/--minimized command line option.
- Fixed assertion failure in the progress display when creating
a new torrent.
+ Web client:
- Fixed minor UI bugs, e.g. layout and control alignment.
- Fixed 4.0.0 bug that that failed to save alternate speed begin/end
settings changes.
- Improved colors in both light & dark mode.
+ Daemon:
- Made the "unrecognized argument" error message more readable.
+ transmission-remote:
- Fixed a spurious error message when adding magnet links.
- Update to version 4.0.1:
+ Issues fixed:
- Poor speed and some checksums being incorrectly marked as
failed in somes torrents.
- Beachballing / jank.
- Blocklists using more memory than necessary.
- Failure to migrate magnet links from Transmission 3.
- Many other fixes.
- Changes from version 4.0.0:
+ Added many performance improvements, and numerous bugfixes.
+ The entire codebase has been migrated from C to C++.
+ The remote control GUIs (transmission-qt and transmission-web)
now use the RPC API "table" mode, resulting in smaller payloads
/ less bandwidth use.
+ Added support for GTK 4, and both Qt5 and Qt6.
+ The GTK client has been ported to gtkmm.
+ New Features:
- Support for using BitTorrent v2 and hybrid torrents.
- Users can now set "default" trackers that can be used to
announce all public torrents.
- Newly-added seeds can start immediately and verify pieces on
demand now.
- Added an option to omit potentially-identifying information
(e.g. User-Agent and date created) when creating new
torrents.
- The Web client has been rewritten and now supports mobile
use.
- When creating new torrents, users can now specify the piece
size.
- IPv6 blocklists are now supported.
- Dozens of other new features.
+ Fix small scrape/announce packet size that could trip SYN flood
detection on some systems.
+ Remove the 1024 open files limit previously required by how
libcurl was used.
+ Add configurable anti-brute force settings.
+ Fetch metadata of stopped magnets.
+ Stop logging excessive error messages after they repeat too
many times.
+ The web client has been given a major overhaul.
+ User-visible highlights include:
- Mobile is now fully supported.
- Added fullscreen support on mobile.
- Better support for dark mode.
- Added mime icons to the torrent list.
- Improved theme consistency across the app.
- Port build system from Autotools to CMake: replace libtool build
requirement with cmake and ninja; replace Autotool macros with
CMake's.
- Add explicit build requirement on CMake modules: Qt5Gui,
Qt5LinguistTools, Qt5Network, Qt5Svg, and Qt5Widgets.
- Drop libqt5-linguist-devel, now that its CMake module is being
used instead.
- Use our own libdeflate as build requirement instead of the
bundled one.
- Replace openssl-devel with the more reliable pkgconfig(openssl).
- Replace intltool build requirement with gettext-tools.
- Replace glib-2.0 and gtk+-3.0 with giomm-2.68, glibmm-2.68, and
gtkmm-4.0 pkgconfig modules following code base switch from C to
C++.
- Drop libappindicator3-devel build requirement. AppIndicator is no
longer supported.
- Drop fdupes build requirement/macro. There isn't duplicate files
anymore.
- Drop no longer needed %desktop_database_post and
%icon_theme_cache_post macros targeted at pre-Leap openSUSE/SUSE
releases.
- Drop no longer needed patches:
transmission-hybrid-torrent-length.patch, and
transmission-3.00-openssl-3.patch.
- Refresh harden_transmission-daemon.service.patch patch with
Quilt.
- Drop transmission-qt.desktop source file favoring the one
provided by upstream.
- Add transmission.rpmlintrc file to filter the "file-not-in-%lang"
warning, since we are excluding the English translations from the
lang sub-packages and packaging them in the common sub-package
instead.
